Superman #1000. Who's in for multiples?5312

Just saw a thing on the news about issue #1000 of Action Comics coming out in April. Dean Caine said that DC is going to go retro for Supes in this issue, with the original red underwear outside the blue costume.

I don't normally buy Superman comics and I am trying to avoid all modern comics. But I feel a strong urge to get multiples in very high grade. Just in case.

This will be an incredibly high print run. It’s on my pull list already so I will get a copy either way. I will grab a copy of any variant covers that I like just because I like them. But there’s no spec value here for most of the issues unless there’s some crazy retailer variant cover or something with a low print run.

Also add me to the list of people who really do not want those red trunks to come back.

"DC Comics announce that it will be celebrating Superman Action Comics #1000 with a star-studded celebration next year, which includes a co-written story by Geoff Johns and Superman film director, Richard Donner."

Only real info I could find is on the hardback coming out. Priced at $29.99

"Join us for the 80th anniversary celebration of the most important comic book in American history: ACTION COMICS #1, featuring the first appearance of Superman! It’s an extraordinary party as we revisit stories from across the decades, featuring the debuts of not just the Man of Tomorrow, but also Supergirl, Brainiac, the Fortress of Solitude and more! See the work of generations of top writers and artists on the original superhero! Enjoy sparkling essays from literary wizards who have won Pulitzer Prizes and hit the bestseller lists, including Jules Feiffer, who relives his memories of when ACTION COMICS #1 first hit newsstands. Plus, a historical essay by guest editor Paul Levitz, and all one thousand ACTION COMICS covers presented on a special 30” x by 39.75” poster! And as a bonus, don’t miss a previously unpublished 1940s Superman tale believed to be written by Jerry Siegel with art by the Joe Shuster studio, salvaged fifty years ago and hidden away until now!"

Wait...does that mean the "hardback" edition is $29.99??? Is this book going to be a thousand pages as well? What is the "regular" comic going to be priced and for how many pages??
Story reprints MIGHT HAVE meant something IF DC hadn't been doing all kinds of reprints since the 1960s.

I will need all variants in 9.8. Not sure what that will take (how many of each raw copy for grade screen and how much each will go for), but am prepared to spend the dough. They probably wont be worth shit later; but I want them now.

Bleedingcool.com says the regular comic version will be priced at $5.99, no indication of length, though.

They report the hardcover will be 168 pages. Strangely, Amazon says the hardcover will be 384 pages,
